Legal action against TfL?

Can't some of us get together and sue these TfL chancers? This morning I left for work a little earlier as I have some things to be getting on with - silly me, I hadn't realised that these TfL poltroons are unable to cope with some light rain (ditto snow, leaves, the list goes on). Arrived at work furious, half an hour... late.

We are paying through the nose. These nincompoops steal our time as we sit in their overheated cattle wagons, and charge us royally for the privilege.

Surely there must be some lawyers who, having being delayed for an important case, would be willing to put together a 'class action' case on the basis that being late for work can deprive commuters of income, and should be reimbursed accordingly? Let's hit these amateur-hour buffoons where it hurts - in the bank balance!

Absurd management jargon

I had to attend a meeting at work earlier today. It was neither enjoyable nor useful. The speakers employed a succession of absurd phrases such as "footprint", "footfall", "outside the envelope", and "singing from the same hymn sheet". Speak English you poltroons!!

Sheep-like use of this silly jargon only serves to highlight the sheer vacuity and bankruptcy of management methods today - short termism, style over content, buzzwords over substance.

Is there a section in the MBA handbook which commends the use of as much meaningless, dribbling jargon as possible, so as to reveal the speaker to be an utter nincompoop?

It would appear so.
